Alliance Program

Miniweb enables converged broadcast and broadband entertainment on the TV, with a Connected TV Services Platform allowing easy navigation and consumption of internet video.

Brightcove customers can easily extend distribution to the TV by adding their content to the Miniweb Platform via a Brightcove MediaAPI feed. This content can then be accessed via multiple Connected TV devices, making it the most efficient route to TV audiences as there is no need to build device-specific TV Applications.

Miniweb’s Platform provides a seamless experience, empowering consumers with a number of additional features to enhance their TV viewing:

•  Search – textual search across multiple content sources
• Recommendations & Related Content – find more of the content you like, based on the broadband content being watched
• Personalisation – Individual identities and device-independent profiles
• Community – Based on ‘real world’ social networks. Send, share and publish playlists, searches, favourites and messages
• Payment services – Ability to save payment details, with PIN protection

Miniweb’s platform provides a branded “Play Experience” for individual Brightcove content owners, with a customisable Content Owner Menu editable any time via a web-based Management Console.
Brightcove customers benefit from new revenue streams generated by micropayments and advertising.

Within the Management Console Brightcove customers can set different payment options for premium content: pay per view, subscriptions, recurring payments. Payments can be integrated with current payment processes.

A number of standard advertising formats, adapted for TV, can be integrated via Miniweb’s platform. Multiple targeting dimensions (contextual, demographic, behavioural, geographic) are available and the web-style advertising is fully accountable and trackable. A full service is available for publishers if required, including ad sales/management and ad serving.
